Chapter 44: Marriage
The news of the Gu family's proposal soon spread to Qiuyuan.
Tang Yanning guessed that she might be getting married soon, and turned out the red wedding dress in the wardrobe and began to embroider it.
Shuang'er was pacing back and forth in the room, and when she heard a knock on the door, she immediately struck a spirit, and hurriedly opened the door to let Tian Gang in.
Early this morning, Shuang'er heard that someone from the Gu family was coming, Shuang'er was curious, nervous, worried and excited, and kept looking in the direction of the front yard, as if she was the person concerned.
Tang Yanning couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent Tian Gang to the front yard to find out the news.
Tian Gang respectfully saluted Tang Yanning, told the news he heard in the front yard, and after talking about the Gu family's proposal, Tian Gang lowered his voice again and said that he had heard something.
Tang Yanning raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Xiangye didn't seem to be in a good mood when he came back today, and he talked to the eldest lady in the hall, and for some reason he suddenly became angry, and rushed to the eldest lady's room and slapped the eldest lady."
Tian Gang was actually very surprised, Xiangye has always loved the eldest lady the most, what could make him slap the young lady?
As soon as he heard that the eldest lady had been slapped, Shuang'er's attention was instantly diverted, and he asked with some excitement: "Tian Gang, then do you know why the eldest lady was beaten?" ”
Tian Gang shook his head, "It's too far away, I can't hear what I'm saying, but occasionally when Xiangye's tone is heavy, I hear the names of the two highnesses of King Liang and King Rui, and what other individual words such as marriage and power." ”
"Oh" Shuang'er was a little disappointed, the eldest lady has always been high, and she would be slapped by Xiangye, she was really curious about the reason.
pulled Tian Gang and asked about the details of the Gu family's appearance, image, and conversation, and Shuang'er let Tian Gang go back, and Tian Gang was also good-tempered, not only answering them one by one, but even describing the clothes of others in great detail with Shuang'er.
As soon as Tian withdrew, Tang Yanning fell into deep thought.
It seems that the eldest sister is really pregnant, and her father already knows about it, so her father slapped her.
In her previous life, she just got married, and the eldest sister followed suitably to marry King Liang, and gave birth to a baby boy in less than a year after marrying, which stabilized her position as a housemother.
Premature babies generally cry in a weak voice, and their weight is lighter than that of normal children, on the other hand, the eldest sister, the child was born white and fat, crying loudly, and very edible, a nurse is not enough, and finally added another one, where is there a little premature baby, so she calculated that the eldest sister should be conceived before marriage, and sure enough.
After Tang Heng came out of Qingyi Xuan angrily, he ran into Aunt Du who was hurrying to find him.
As soon as Aunt Du saw Tang Heng, she knelt down with pear blossoms and rain, crying and complaining, asking word by word, hoping that Tang Heng could save his brother's life, but it was a pity, it was a pity, when she met Tang Heng, who was now furious, not only did she not pay attention to the beauty's tactful pleading, but instead kicked it in anger, and after insulting it, she threw her sleeves and left.
The kick hit her in the chest, and her body fell violently on the flowerbed next to her with the fierce force of the kick, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, Tang Heng not only didn't mean to help at all, but also blamed his brother for implicating his reputation, and after wantonly insulting him, he reduced himself to a good concubine, Aunt Du's silver teeth were secretly bitten, and she returned to Meiyuan in embarrassment.
Aunt Du's news that her brother was demoted to a good concubine soon spread in the house.
The subordinates speculated that Aunt Du was really going to fall out of favor this time, and her attitude gradually became contemptuous, giving Aunt Du cold eyes everywhere, making a small stumbling block, of course, the people turned against her so quickly, it must be due to Wen's contributions.
Only Aunt Song sighed for a while, and Aunt Du, who was once in the limelight, was finally disgusted by Xiangye.
After Tang Heng calmed down overnight, he agreed to Wen's proposal and set the wedding date until August 24, the same day as Tang Yanyu.
Wen finally moved the stone that was pressed in his heart after learning about it, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent the newly promoted Qian Steward to inform the Gu family of the marriage.
……
Gu Huaien was also stunned when he heard Steward Qian talk about the wedding date, August 24, it's too fast, right?
Steward Qian said that the master invited by Mrs. calculated that the third lady Gu and the second son had a slight disagreement, and they needed to use the joy of other families to get married to wash away the bad luck caused by those inconsistencies, and it happened that the second lady of his own family was about to get married, and it was very suitable to set it on the same day. It's not only a double happiness, but also a cracked eight-character incompatibility, it's the best of both worlds.
No matter how doubtful Gu Huaien was in his heart, he still responded with kind words on his face, and enthusiastically sent away the money housekeeper and went back to discuss with his younger brother.
Gu Huaisheng's always calm expression couldn't help but show surprise when he heard his brother talk about the wedding date.
I thought to myself, why are you in such a hurry to get married, has anything happened to the Prime Minister's house?
Gu Huaien felt that there was nothing to worry about a little earlier and a little later, but it was the dowry that made it convenient for him to be more concerned, and looked at his younger brother and asked with a little embarrassment: "Huaisheng, since this wedding date has been set, it is natural to give a dowry, and Najib or something seems to be omitted." ”
Gu Huaisheng light well, there are still more than ten days, it is indeed in a hurry, and some unnecessary etiquette can be omitted.
Seeing that his younger brother didn't understand what he meant, Gu Huaien couldn't help but ask: "That other party is the prime minister after all, in your opinion, how can this dowry be appropriate?" ”
This dowry is also exquisite, if it is according to the standards of their village, if you marry a wife, it is too much to give a dowry, but the other party is the prime minister's house, even if the concubine is married, according to the current popularity in the capital, it is necessary to have twenty-six dowry, and the quality of the dowry can not be too inferior, these twenty-six taels are sent down, and there is no 20,000 taels I am afraid that it will not be solved. Twenty thousand taels, the Gu family can't take it out even if they are tired and vomit blood.
Gu Huaishengyan didn't know what his brother was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I will send someone to handle the dowry, so I don't have to worry about it, the eldest brother only needs to help me decorate the house up and down, and then renovate the two empty houses that leak rain." ”
Seeing that his younger brother seemed to have his own arrangements, Gu Huaien just wanted to remind his younger brother not to be reckless and swallowed back, his younger brother didn't know how much the dowry was, he must have his own way, in response to Huaisheng's request, he immediately went to the village to find a few workers and came back to start work.
Wen also handed the news to Qiu Yuan, asking Tang Yanning to prepare.
I heard that it was also on August 24, Tang Yanning was a little surprised, it was really ...... Fate!
In the previous life, I got married at this time, and in this life, I still got married at this time, but I didn't marry the same person!
She had already guessed that she would stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a short time, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, it seems that Tang Heng was in a hurry to send herself away to pave the way for her eldest daughter!
Shuang'er was indignant in the room, and complained: "Where is there such a thing, people haven't asked someone to officially come to the door to propose Najib, so they set the date directly, and they are in the same day as the second lady, so anxious to marry you, outsiders don't know that the young lady also has a loss of virtue or a hidden disease, so in a hurry, I really don't respect you at all." ”
